Chevron + Sierra Club: A Few Jabs, And A Surprise

The Chiefs of Chevron and the Sierra Club met for the first time ever at Climate One at The Commonwealth Club. Carl Pope, Executive Director of the Sierra Club, says government regulations have prevented the energy industry from being innovative. Dave O'Reilly, CEO of Chevron, agrees with Pope that energy efficiency is a high priority for reducing carbon emissions. In a lively exchange moderated by Alan Murray of the Wall Street Journal, Pope and O'Reilly agreed to go to Washington DC together to put a squeeze play on the coal industry.

What an extraordinary moment! Can you imagine the power that would be represented by joint-lobbying by Chevron and the Sierra Club? Please, Chevron, let your CEO do what he shook on -- let him go to Washington to lobby, in a coordinated manner, with the Sierra Club.

Pope really rose to the occasion. This was slightly uncomfortable, but honest! And forward thinking. Always forward....
